Chen Zhi glanced at the eunuch beside him with a smile, with a sincere smile on his face, "Thank you father-in-law for reminding me." ”、

The father-in-law shook his head, thinking of which of the other princes in the palace was not calculating others everywhere, and in order to compete for the throne, the fifth prince who had just returned seemed to be too shallow in the world and did not understand the sinister nature of the world. The father-in-law sighed and shook his head.

Chen Zhi didn't care about what his father-in-law thought in his heart, he wanted this effect.

After that, the father-in-law did not speak, and led Chen Zhi silently.

Chen Zhi walked to the door of the imperial study, and the guard at the door stopped him, "Your Royal Highness the Fifth Prince, please allow your subordinates to go down and tell the emperor." ”

Chen Zhi nodded casually, and stood at the door waiting.

After a while, the guards came out and said to Chen Zhi, "Your Highness, the emperor let you in."

"Hmm." Chen Zhi entered the imperial study, and the emperor was still criticizing, and while criticizing, his expression became more and more heavy.

Gonggong Gui whispered beside the emperor: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince has come down."

After the emperor finished approving the folds in his hand, he put the fold on the stack on his right, then put down the brush in his hand and rubbed his eyebrows.

When his expression was no longer so heavy, the emperor looked up at Chen Zhi, who was dressed in red.

Chen Zhi saluted and said, "See my father."

The emperor let out an "um" and quietly looked at his son in front of him.

Chen Zhi was sent to Zhao when he was a child. Although he used to be because of his mother's concubine, he was also very fond of Chen Zhi when he was a child. But in the past few years, Chen Zhi has been growing up in Zhao Kingdom, and because there are more and more children under his knees, he has a trace of rejection of this child who is far away in Zhao Kingdom.

Because in the past two years, he has slowly distanced himself from Concubine Rong, and he is no longer as favored and loved as in the past, but he loves the young and shy Concubine Lian more. So when Chen Zhi came back, he was not only repulsed, but also more hostile.

In recent years, his other children's coveting of this throne has become more and more obvious, especially the second child, who almost ignored his own emperor. He is bold and ruthless, and he is even more ruthless to the officials in the court who do not obey him. So now, as far as he knows, more than half of the officials are his people.

Sure enough, the tiger father has no dogs. The Emperor thought to himself.

Looking at Chen Zhi, who was smirking innocently in front of him, the emperor was actually a little resentful. Of course, he was angry with those princes who didn't respect him, but seeing that they all had the ability and ability, he was actually happy in his heart, after all, they were all his own sons. So for this unsuccessful Chen Zhi, the emperor was a little disappointed. Concubine Rong's methods back then were also very powerful, otherwise she wouldn't have pampered her for so long. But he and Concubine Rong's children were so hasty, which made the emperor feel very shameless.

But after thinking about it, Chen Zhi grew up in Zhao State most of the time, and he was not in Qi State, so he didn't think about it anymore.

"Sit down." The emperor pointed to the seat next to him and said to Chen Zhi.

Chen Zhi hurriedly smiled and said, "Father Xie." ”

The emperor simply asked a few words how Chen Zhi was adapting, and if he was not satisfied. Chen Zhidu replied with a smile and said that he was very good and satisfied.

The emperor and Chen Zhi talked for a while, but a different feeling suddenly spread in their hearts. It was not easy for him to ascend to this throne, he saw the colors of many people, calculated a lot of brothers, and stepped on the blood of countless people to slowly ascend to this throne step by step. Therefore, the emperor is very sensitive to things like calculations, and he can also faintly detect the deliberate disguise of others.

So now that he talked with Chen Zhi for a while, the emperor suddenly thought of a question, how could a person so proud of Concubine Rong allow his child to be so unsuccessful?

Thinking of this, the emperor couldn't help but be alert, and looked at Chen Zhi suspiciously, once he had doubts, he would feel that there were flaws everywhere.

Is Chen Zhi really so naïve?

Chen Zhi was originally answering the emperor's question with a smile, but suddenly found that the emperor's eyes on him had become wrong, but the smile on his face remained the same, and he continued to smile innocently and chat with the emperor.

The emperor asked a few more questions tentatively, and Chen Zhi didn't change his face and fooled around.

Looking at the stupid Chen Zhi in front of him, who didn't understand anything, the emperor began to wonder if he was wrong. It is impossible for such a simple straw bale person to be so smart.

However, whether Chen Zhi is really innocent or is indeed hiding himself, deliberately disguising himself as a straw bag, the emperor no longer thinks about it.

The more fierce these children fight, the longer they can sit on the throne. Thinking of this, the emperor sighed. It's really a wretched person to think that the emperor is like this.

The emperor coughed heavily, and Gonggong Gui hurriedly stepped forward, "Is the emperor uncomfortable?" ”

Chen Zhi also showed concern on his face, "Father, are you okay?" ”

The emperor coughed a few more times and waved his hand, "I'm fine." ”

Recently, his health has been getting worse and worse, and I don't know if it is related to the factors of those princes who are vying for the throne.

"You go back first." After coughing, the emperor only felt that his internal organs were coughed painfully, and said to Chen Zhi rudely.

Chen Zhi nodded, glanced at the weak emperor again, and left.

After Chen Zhi left, Gonggong Gui walked to the emperor's side, "Your Majesty, the slave will pour you some tea to drink to moisten your lungs." ”

The emperor nodded, and Gonggong Gui poured a cup of tea and handed it to the emperor.

The emperor took a sip of tea, and the emperor felt better and exhaled heavily.

"Li Degui, do you say that my illness has anything to do with those princes?" The emperor asked.

Father-in-law Gui is the person who has been by the emperor's side for a long time, so the emperor trusts him very much.

Gonggong Gui was stunned for a moment, "Maybe the emperor is thinking too much." He didn't say yes or no, after all, the answer to this question was wrong.

The emperor chuckled, but his expression slowly sank. "How much do I think? I also wish I had thought about it myself. ”

Gonggong Gui waited on the side and did not speak, he knew that these words had been held in the emperor's heart for a long time, and they had been buried for a long time.

"Now the royal family of Qi State is not peaceful, and the outside of Qi is not peaceful......" The emperor suddenly fell silent, closed his eyes and shook his head, "This is a note from the general guarding the border to me, saying that Zhao Guo's army in the border area between the two countries has increased a lot in recent days, and then asked me what to do." Li Degui, what do you say I should do? "The emperor's face is calm, but there is an undercurrent in his eyes." These princes are cultivating their own people one by one, and now I don't know who else is a good official in the court who can really be used in the Qi State? ”

"There used to be a General Song who could use it, but he was framed by that rebel!" Speaking of this, the emperor coughed angrily again.

Gonggong Gui hurriedly patted the emperor's back gently, "Your Majesty, you have to pay more attention to your dragon body, be careful of hurting your body." ”
